Trump, 79, Rants Incoherently About Robots and AI

9 months ago by return2ozma to c/technology

The president stumbled through a word salad as he tried to reassure Americans that robots and AI would not replace their jobs.

“We’re going to need the help of robots and other forms of, uhhh, I guess you could say employment,” he said, shrugging. “We’re going to be employing a lot of artificial things.”

When reached for comment, White House Deputy Press Secretary Anna Kelly told the Daily Beast in a statement, “It’s sad that Daily Beast interns cannot grasp the concept of pro-growth policies that create jobs. Their minds are clearly warped after cheering on Joe Biden as he wrecked our economy for four years.”

The pettiness is unreal.

This is not "pettiness". This is all part of a multi-generational psychological warfare operation to brainwash the working class and implement totalitarian dictatorship — started by the Koch Bros, Roger Ailes, Rupert Murdoch, and other wealthy narcissists several decades ago — and the fascists are winning; facilitated by "liberals" who are mostly a manufactured opposition, financed by the same corporations/oligarchs.

No war but class war, and the capitalist class is winning.

The rhetoric that politicians are idiots and they don't know what they're doing is also damaging, because it makes people assume stupidity rather than malice.

But it is malice. The incompetence is real, make no mistake, but malice is in fact the end goal.

Never believe that anti-Semites [read: fascists] are completely unaware of the absurdity of their replies. They know that their remarks are frivolous, open to challenge. But they are amusing themselves, for it is their adversary who is obliged to use words responsibly, since he believes in words. The anti-Semites have the right to play. They even like to play with discourse for, by giving ridiculous reasons, they discredit the seriousness of their interlocutors. They delight in acting in bad faith, since they seek not to persuade by sound argument but to intimidate and disconcert. If you press them too closely, they will abruptly fall silent, loftily indicating by some phrase that the time for argument is past.

I'd say educational system, or better, it's downfall through decades, plays a significant role in making population dumb enough to not see through these constant lies.

It feels like some edgelord 4chan trolls have taken over the government

Exactly what happened. What are we going to do about it? I plan to create a self-sustainability community to at least drain their leverage a bit.

4chan played a non-insignificant part in getting MAGA in power. It always attracted throngs of alt-right morons who dominated the political discourse. Back when nazis were afraid to speak about their beliefs in public, the Internet quickly became their breeding ground and base of operations. They got in very early, and were always very good at dominating and influencing online sentiment.
